    Fork oil Air gap!

    Just serviced the forks on my trail and can't seem to find the info on the air gap when re-filling the oil. I think it should be 130mm although not sure if that is with the fork compressed or retracted, or with or without the spacer.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Matt.

    105 mm without spring and spacer, compressed fork ;-)

    Fedro, I don't have my manual to hand, but from memory the Strada is different in specifying an air gap, while the Trail specifies a volume of oil. I can't remember the volume, but I thought it was just over 500ml (I needed more than 1 litre to change both forks).
